About this work

The painting depicts a woman in a blue and green plaid dress, her long hair blowing in the wind. She is shown in profile, facing left, with her head turned slightly towards the viewer. In the background, a man in a blue shirt and hat is seen from behind, walking away from the woman. The woman's dress is detailed with a red sash around her waist, and her hair is adorned with a small blue bow. The background is a light beige color, with some darker shading suggesting a stormy sky. The overall effect is one of movement and energy, with the woman's hair and dress blowing in the wind. The painting is a woodblock print, with bold lines and bright colors. It is a striking image, full of life and movement. To learn more about the artist's technique, look up the term "cross-hatching".
